By Ace McCloud

Do you wish you had inner peace and happiness? Would you love to feel the power of the universe coursing through you?

Whether you want to (1) feel at peace and happy with your life, (2) grow spiritually, or (3) learn the world's best ways to nourish your mind, body, and spirit, this is the book for you!

Do you long to connect with your own spirituality?

Spirituality doesn't have to be a mystery. In this exciting spiritual journey you will discover how to achieve inner peace and live a harmonious and happy life. Learn to how to become self-aware and self-accepting. Discover how to respond to difficulties the right way, without losing your cool. Enjoy life as you grow spiritually and become divinely connected with all that is around you.

Enhance your self-awareness.

We live in a culture that does not encourage spirituality; self-awareness is easily squelched in favor of production and performance. In such an environment, it requires initiative and conscious development for our self-awareness to flourish and extend the reach of our spirituality. That is why I have included valuable and practical exercises designed to boost your self-awareness, cleanse body, mind, and soul, and help you reach your true full potential.

Learn to live from your heart.

Spiritual awareness involves self-acceptance and living in the present. It requires living from the heart more than living from your head. This is largely counter-intuitive to Western thinking, so I have provided a variety of tips and activities to help you receive healing of past inner wounds and learn to live from your heart.

Learn to respect your past.

Two extremes - obsessing on the past or ignoring it - do not offer any true solution. The spiritual solution may surprise you; it involves bringing gratefulness to bear on your past experiences. Gratefulness nurtures your spirit and lays the groundwork for forgiveness, even as it enables you to open yourself to your future with joy, trust, and confidence. Learn how you can navigate these with ease. Discover exercises and mental activities that can advance you further along your path of enlightenment.

Introduction

I want to thank you and congratulate you for buying the book, Spirituality: The Top 25 Best Techniques For Becoming Enlightened And At Peace.

This book contains proven steps and strategies on how to strengthen the spiritual part of your being, how to seek spiritual enlightenment and how to increase your inner peace.

Spirituality is often confused with religion; people often think that if you are a spiritual person, you must be active in a church, temple, mosque or another religious group.  This is not always true.  Although religion can be a part of spirituality, it is not a defining point.  So, what exactly is spirituality?  That is a good question.  One person may define spirituality as going to church.  Another may describe it as being in tune with your own spirit, while others say spirituality is a matter of being present in the moment.  Some people think of spirituality as a connection with spirits, those that live on the earth or with the spirits of people who have left the earth for bigger and better things.  In this book we define spirituality as the ability to connect to matters of the spirit.  A spiritual person might take time to enjoy the beauty of a blooming garden on the way to work, while others scurry on by without even noticing its delightful loveliness.  Sensitivity to beauty is but one aspect of spirituality.

Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love wrote: Religion is for those who don't want to go to hell and spirituality is for those who have already been there.  If you feel like you have been to hell and back in your life, you have probably emerged from the experience with a heightened awareness of what really matters.  Often what matters most will be something spiritual in nature, something as intangible as loving relationships, or as simple as a breeze caressing your face.  When we run away from our hellish experiences we tend to gravitate toward something that means more than what we left behind.  That pursuit is the essence of spirituality.

The YouTube video Religion Vs Spirituality by Sean Meshorer provides the basics of spirituality and shows some differences between it and the subset of spirituality known as religion. 

Spiritual people tend to have an inner glow.  They may seem wise beyond their years.  As a child, I knew an older gentleman who happened to be very active in his church.  He wore a shock of brilliant white hair above twinkling blue eyes and light seemed to radiate from every pore of his body.  This man was wise, kind and truly cared about helping others instead of pursuing financial gain and professional power.  Amazingly, he always had more than enough money to support his large family, yet he was constantly reaching out to help others in need.  Because of his spiritual foundation, this man had more than he needed to not just survive; he lived a happy and generous life. 

I have often wished I could be like this man.  Now that I am a little older, I realize I can have some of things he had.  I have stopped worrying about fame and fortune because I trust that my spiritual Source will take care of my life.  I am learning to accept myself, both the bad and the good.  I am learning to love the Self I have been given. 

It is not easy to follow a spiritual path.  People who were brought up in a spiritual household might have an advantage because they grew up surrounded by examples and mentors.  Even so, only you can pursue spiritual growth; nobody can do it for you.  Although you may be spiritually mature, this doesn’t mean you are perfect.  Even my godly, white-haired friend didn’t function in spiritual mode all the time. 

Difficulty seems to invade life almost on cue when things seem to be going well.  Your car might break down just after successfully getting a tooth fixed.  When things appear to be going well, a child may make a mistake and saddle you with legal problems.  You might become sick just after acquiring a new job, so you feel you can't take off time to get better.  These difficulties can be a challenge to your spiritual life.  The true challenge, as human beings with all our foibles, is to handle these obstacles without losing faith, trusting that our Source will provide for our needs.  Instead of destroying us, a challenge can actually strengthen our spirit.  We all have an innate, spirituality; the focus of this book is to nurture and strengthen our spirits.

Think about the people you know.  I'll bet those who have impacted your life the most are spiritual people.  Life is not about you, but it is about the people who have touched your life and the manner in which you, in turn, touch others.  That, in a nutshell, is spirituality.

There are many components that combine to make up spirituality, but in this book we will focus on a short list of:

Self-awareness

Self-acceptance

Living in the present

Forgiveness

Compassion

Patience

Surrender

Gratitude

I have included 25 techniques designed to foster spiritual growth.  Pursue the activities that speak to your current needs.  These techniques are designed to nurture your spiritual being and free it to flourish. 

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, the priest, philosopher and paleontologist, once said, We are not human beings having a spiritual experience.  We are spiritual beings having a human experience.  May your spiritual being prosper!
